T'Lod:

I assumed it was a Vulcan female name with the classic T' prefix; we often
get posters from other branches of Trek fandom here. I myself occasionally
post to a couple of Vulcan fan lists as Voragh (though I also use my real
name).
If T'Lod is in fact a Klingon fan name, might I suggest Tu'Lod as a
Federation Standard spelling? Paramount often capitalizes the letter
following an internal apostraphe in their "Klingon" names for people and
ships.
But as ghunchu'wI' said, in the end your name is your name.
